Bottle at home. Aroma is biscuit malt, fruity hops, tropical fruits, bubblegum, light caramel, mango. Flavour is moderate sweet and about medium bitter. Body is medium. Not bad at all, but I expected a bit more from this. It’s not as freshly fruity as I expected.

355ml bottle: BB 10th March 2022. Drank at home on 3rd April 2022, so three weeks out of date. Bright amber body, off-white head. Fruity nose with that 'Belgian yeasty' aroma that typifies Belgian beers. The taste was also fruity and 'Belgiany' in nature. Bit sweet, but I enjoyed it.

Bottle. A- Pineapple, tropical fruit, mild spice, subtle dough. A- Copper color, hazy liquid, off white head. T- Bread dough, coriander, yeasty, citrus. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, spiced finish. O- Smells great! Loads of pineapple, however, it doesn't fully translate into the taste. The citrus is still there but the Belgian spice is the palate star.

Bottle. Pale amber color. Citrus and tea leaves in the slightly herbal aroma. Malty yet dry, slightly alcoholic herbal flavor with citrus and tea leaves. Nice, powerful, well hopped. Nothing Belgian to it.

(Keg at Maltainen Riekko, 20190628) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, spiciness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, spiciness, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy, spicy and bitter. A pleasant hoppy brew with spicy notes.
